Previous

Derrick Mason- He did so much for the Ravens franchise. When guys like TO refused to play for the Ravens regardless of being traded for... Mason took a risk and played with horrible Kyle Boller, on his last legs McNair, and pup Flacco. Mason is the guy that opened a path for guys like Anquan Boldin and Steve Smith to later join the franchise as free agents. Wish he could’ve been there for our second Super Bowl run.

LaDainian Tomlinson- I think his GOAT ranking is largely impacted by the Chargers woes in playoff regard. He was the greatest overall RB I’ve ever seen play. AD was the better pure runner, Faulk was the better receiver, but overall LT was the greatest combination of all time. A ring would’ve done a lot for his legacy and made it so that upon retirement history wasn’t rewritten slightly to denounce his level of greatness.

Current

Lamar Jackson- Besides the obvious homer part, I think the NFL has a strong perception of what makes a “winning QB” in this league and guys that can rush the football are not considered to be it. Thus I would like to see Lamar win it for the simple fact of what it could mean to mobile QBs having a path trail-blazed for them.

JJ Watt- Seems like an awesome guy. He’s done a great job throughout his career and I think before it’s all said and done it would be nice to see him and that Texans franchise finally take it all the distance.

Dan Marino and Barry Sanders. Come on mang, those two gave it all at the highest HoF level even when most of the talent around them was obviously subpar. "Let's give you Mr QB no running game, the defense knows you'll pass, and yet you'll drop 5 TD passes on them anyway. And you Mr RB, we'll give you horrid blocking, no FB to clear the way, let's see what you can do wait should we call you Mr Orthopedic after breaking all those ankles?"

Rivers and Fitzgerald for current, those two been HODOR for ages (because Game of Thrones still matters in mid-2019).

Anyone not saying Rivers has no heart, no soul and is an evil person to their core.

[tom cody]

Current: Rivers and Fitzgerald

All Time: Marino and Sanders

Former: Robert Kelley and Josh McCown. OKAY, so I think it's safe to assume that Fat Rob is done. I mean, there are several higher-rated prospects still in Free Agency and the draft class is loaded. Also, don't you agree that the ultimate backup QB deserves a ring if Nick Fools has one?

Current: Lenny Fitzgumbo and Adrian Peterson. Fitzgumbo deserves it after being such a great man in the community, very humble and DOING IT for his team in the playoffs. Wanna see clutch? Watch the end of his super bowl matchup against the Steelers or the entirety of his 2015 divisional round matchup against the Green Bay Packers. There is not current player more deserving of a ring than Lenny Fitzgumbo right now.

Adrian Peterson is going to get a ring in early 2020, which is good because he deserves one.

I had Kelley on my fantasy team during his rookie season. He was fantastic and the team had no running game otherwise. I'm surprised that they moved on from him so quickly.

As for me, I will go with Larry Fitz and Phil Rivers. I'd love for guys like Andrew Whitworth or Eric Weddle to have a ring though...cough cough

Edit: I forgot to do all-time guys. Give me Steven Jackson and Andre Johnson.

For the Players who have never played for the steelers it's Marino and Barry Sanders

Barry Sanders is for me the best RB ever ... Probably the only one who could have had success without a good o-line!

Dan Marino,one of the best QB ever, his 1984 season is really legendary .... Best season ever for a QB, especially since it took new rules for his records of his 1984 seasons be broken since before, nobody was close for his records (especially for the TD pass)

For the current, it's a player but also a HC ... Andy Reid deserves a ring!..The other is probably Larry Fitzgerald

[braylon]

Randy Moss

[kramxel]

No one, because rings are earned.

 

P.S: Can't believe no one said this...

 

[MossyMoss]

Wow this is a tough one for former players, 

Hard to leave one out between Marino, Barry Sanders and Moss. 

Current I will go with Rivers and JJ Watt.

Have to agree with Marino and for those reasons. The other guy probably Vikings John Randle, absolutely loved him as a player and can't think of a more deserving guy, maybe Jim Kelly?

Current players............difficult one as some still could win a ring of course but JJ Watt has to be top of the list I would think because of consistent excellence and I'd probably go with Larry Fitzgerald. Aaron Donald or Khalil Mack probably should be honorable mention but they both have time on their side which counts against them.
